Highlights
Pet care experience
If Mowgli was female :)
I’m an avid animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for a diverse range of pets, from livestock to exotic species like kinkajous and falcons. Growing up on an exotic animal farm, I've developed a deep passion for animal care. Currently, I pet-sit for my parents' 14 dogs, falcons, and tortoises, in addition to my own two dogs and cat – all incredibly friendly. When I'm not working, you'll find me at home or outdoors, enjoying walks, hikes, and paddle boarding with my bulldog (Bean!) and whippet (Zephyr!). With a fenced yard and ample nearby trails, your pets will have a safe and loving environment. I'll treat them as I do my own, ensuring they feel cherished and well-cared for.

Safety, trust & environment
If you are wanting me to come by your home, I can come and let them out and take them on a walk/play their favorite games for an hour or so and just keep them company to make sure they're doing okay.
Ratings and reviews
Kate accommodated a last minute request to watch my dog for the weekend. She sent lots of updates/pictures throughout the weekend. Would book again!
Kate is amazing!! We needed her last minute for Thanksgiving break after our original care fell through, and I’m so thankful she was available. She was incredibly communicative the entire time we were gone and sent frequent pictures and updates so we always knew our pups were happy. She stayed at our home with her two dogs, per our request, and all the dogs had an absolute blast together. She took great care of our home, followed every instruction perfectly, and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs felt comfortable and loved. You can tell she genuinely cares about dogs. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend her, and we’ll be using her again in the future!!
My one dog is older and more difficult to take care of and she took good care of him. And she took good care of all the other pets I have too. 😀
I HIGHLY recommend Kate to watch your pup if you’re in the area!! She was able to accommodate us at such short notice due to our original sitter backing out. We’re so happy we ended up with her! She did a great job sending us daily pictures and keeping us in the loop! You can tell immediately by her warm and genuine personality that she would be a great and trusting fit to watch your loved one!
Kate is such a great dog sitter! She watched Daisy for the weekend and sent updates multiple times a day. Very responsive and considerate, can’t recommend her enough
Hiring Kate was our first experience with a dog sitter, and we’ve had dogs for 40+ years. She did an awesome job - she sent photos and reports throughout the weekend and we saw two very happy pups! One of our dogs suffers from extreme anxiety and he totally bonded with Kate. We are thrilled to have discovered Kate and highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
